2015 Groceries Week 19 - $78.26

It was a lighter shopping week.  

Our Albertson's recently converted to a County Market and they sent  out a mailing with 8 weeks worth of "Spend $50/Save $10" coupons.  I love these coupons since it allows an extra 20% of savings (provided you spend just $50).  I lucked out shopping because my total actually came in at $49.76 before tax, but the coupon still went through.  Yes!!  I bought some hygiene products to hit the $50 mark, but groceries were only $18.98!  

Sausage links - $3.00 (2 qty. $0.75/1 coupons)(20%) = $1.80 each

Strawberries - $1.25 (20%) = $1.00 each

Olives - $1.00 (20%) = $0.80 each

String cheese - $3.00 (20%) = $2.40 each bag of 12

Onion - $1.29 (20%) = $1.03

GF spaghetti - $3.49 (20%) = $2.79 for 2# bag

I popped into Fred Meyer for a couple of birthday cards Friday and zipped by the clearance spots just to see what, if anything, was available.  I scored in the produce department buying 6 bags of clearance items including 3 zucchini, 3 yellow squash, 2 cucumber, 2 cucumber, 3 bell peppers, & 3 organic apples for a grand total of $6.00.

Then I saw the Fred Meyer ad for the sales starting today and had to head in.  I am a sucker for the Founder's Day sales every year and I didn't want to miss a chance pick up some of them.  I spent $39.81 - all on food.  5 boxes of GF cereal for $1.00 each, 4 boxes of GM cereal just $1.09 each after MCs, organic milk was $5.39, organic carrots $2.99, organic lemon $0.79, tomatoes were $0.97/lb, bananas were $0.69/lb, steak sauce was $0.49 on clearance, 3 more organic apples for $1.00, $3.99 for 2# Tillamook, $1.25 for bread, $1.69 for 2# frozen corn, $0.49 for a candy bar, 2 packs of kids gum on clearance and with a coupon were $0.34 each, $2.00/# packages of 'Simple Truth' ground turkey, and $1.00 for a Fage Greek yogurt I wanted for a new recipe.

Milk delivery was $13.47
